The Beatles have taken the wraps off a new short film that documents how their ‘last song’, Now and Then, finally came to be released.
The film tells the story of how Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr first started working on Now And Then back in 1995, during the sessions that resulted in the release of two other ‘lost’ songs (Free As A Bird and Real Love), but never finished it. The song featured on a cassette of John Lennon’s demos that was given to McCartney by Yoko Ono, Lennon’s widow, but the remaining Beatles never finished it, partly because they were unable to separate John’s vocal from his piano part.
